It's Time to Volunteer with Aiken!
How often do you read something in the newspaper, or see it on television, and think, “That’s terrible! Someone should DO something!” But you really don’t know what to do, or how to start. You don’t believe that one person can make a difference.
Well, this is your chance. You can be that “someone” who gets involved.
There are lots of excuses—reasons not to take the first step: not enough time, not enough money, the need to fill the 42 feeders in your yard before the birds starve. Volunteering has to be intentional. You need to reprioritize to find the time, the money. (Just be sure to keep those feeders filled!)
Volunteering is a lot of fun. You make new friends. You gain the satisfaction of significance. You learn new skills. You find yourself smiling a lot. We guarantee—it’s worth it.

Jeannie Mitchell always seems to have her camera ready when she enounters birds posing for pictures. Here is the Rough-leged Hawk she spotted just east of Elbert Highway and Murphy.
